I didn't receive any points for my most recent water bill payment (Icon Water), even though I did for the previous quarter. I still received points for the electricity bill payment (ActewAGL), but I don't know that I'm game to trust them not to change it for the next quarter.

Icon Water allows you pay via postbillpay, which has a paypal option - this might be a way to get around the government exclusion.

this has been closed off with AMEX so I assume it will be the same for this card.

Hi all

I applied for this card, did the spend and got the points. I'm happy. I will be shortly closing down this credit card but I noticed that I'm entitled to 2 lounge passes.

Are these passes electronic or certificates? If they are paper passes how do I apply for them?

I presume that if they are electronic passes I will lose them when my account is closed.

cheers Peter

I presume that if they are electronic passes

You presume correctly. Don't know what happens if you cancel but if possible assign them to a flight or person ASAP.

Applied for this card last Friday night, received a call today to confirm some details and received a SMS in the afternoon informing me that I've been approved. The SMS states to check my email for further information... yet I've never received an email for starting and completing the application.

Will be back to update once I've spent the $3k

Does anyone know the number to ring to cancel your card? Did not see anything on their website.

I had to laugh at my wife's application for this card (and am definitely not surprised due to the pain I've gone through with Citibank in the past). Applied and provided all relevant documentation straight away. Heard nothing, so after 7 business days she called to follow up...and yes, she is very forward with stupid questioning!

Citibank - "How long have you been living in AU?"
Wife - "My whole life."
Citibank - "So you haven't lived in any other country?"
Wife - "No."
Citibank - "So how many years exactly have you lived in AU?"
Wife - "You've got my DOB there don't you? Almost 30 years."
Citibank - "Oh OK, so should I put down 29 years or 30 years?"
Wife - "I have no idea, what does it matter? I've lived in AU since I was born!"
Citibank - "And what other addresses have you lived at other than the one on your application?"
Wife - "How far back?"
Citibank - "Ummmm, maybe the last five addresses."
Wife - "Seriously? I don't remember my last five. Here's my last two prior to current one......"
Citibank - "OK. But you've lived in other addresses?"
Wife - "Yes"
Citibank - "And are those other addresses in other states."
Wife - "Yes. I was born in ACT but now live in NSW."
Citibank - "OK, we might need to look into that."
Wife - "Why? What do you actually want? This would move a lot quicker if you actually asked proper questions from which you need proper answers!"

And so it continued! They said another 3-5 business days before we hear from them.

It's been almost a year since the launch of this card. I missed out on cancelling and getting the half annual fee/75k promo a couple of months ago.
Has anyone had any luck with getting an annual fee waived or bonus points for staying?

 

[gojun]

I made an AirBnB booking with this card for an Australian property in AUD but was still charged an international fee. I've had no issues with other cards before. I would recommend paying via PayPal for AirBnB to avoid this charge.

Cancelled today on anniversary. Was offered a $50 reduction off the $299 annual fee which I politely declined

May reapply in a few months if bonus point offer still available

Once they have been issued and assigned to your FF account, why would you lose them?

Agreed, they have been issued and are linked to your Qantas Frequent Flyer. I really can't see how that be able to reclaim them either.

Thinking of cancellation the current card and potentially getting the rumoured 'Black' version when announced. Hopefully there isn't an exclusion period.

My annual fee is due. Rang up to today to cancel saying it was too expensive and was offered 50% fee reduction to $150
